LDAP Authentication

Hi,

I just had a request to look into LDAP authentication for one of the
wikis I'm managing. For both 2.8.2 and the upcoming 3.0 (but particularly
2.8.2) what is the current state of the art for LDAP authentication? I
can find a number of different possibilities online but it's unclear
which is the most recent, which is compatible, and which might be the
easiest to implement/install. Also, who the maintainer is/was would be
helpful.

[this does lead to the more general question of knowing this kind of
information for any non-core JSPWiki package, but I hesitate to ask
that question...]

Thanks very much,

Murray

(in reply to my request for info on LDAP)

Just a note to the list: Christophe has sent me the full listing in
private email since the list truncated his message, so I'll give it
a try and write it up for jspwiki.org.

Hi Murray!

I use the JSPWiki WebContainer Authentication.

In jspwiki.jaas:
JSPWiki-container {
  com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.login.WebContainerLoginModule    SUFFICIENT;
  com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.login.CookieAssertionLoginModule SUFFICIENT;
  com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.login.AnonymousLoginModule       SUFFICIENT;
};

I modified jspwiki.policy for my needs.

In jspwiki.properties:
jspwiki.authorizer = com.ecyrd.jspwiki.auth.authorize.WebContainerAuthorizer



For NTLM login within MS Active directory, I also use a patch I provided to Tomcat Community:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46323
